Abstract
Introduction The maximal running velocity ( V IFT) reached at the end of the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Tests (30-15 IFT) is very well related to most physiologic determinants of team-sport performance: explosive power of lower limbs, speed, maximal aerobic power and the ability to recover between exercise bouts. Nevertheless, its relationship with repeated sprint ability (RSA) was unknown. Synthesis of the facts Present results in 84 team-sport athletes show that V IFT is very well related to mean sprint time during a RSA test ( p > 0.001). Conclusion We conclude that V IFT is highly representative of most physiologic determinants of performance in team-sports, and could thus been used to monitor athletic performance of team-sport players.
